I love to try new recipes for my husband, so im always looking for new and creative recipes. I love to also cook for my family (no children yet, my family refers to my Mum, in-laws, and friends) My husband is the one who grills so i like to find things for him to try also.

My favorite things to cook

I like to cook almost anything but my husband has Gout so we avoid beef, but im always looking for new and exciting recipes that exclude beef.

My cooking triumphs

Um...probably making pasta dishes, things like lasagna and stuffed shells with sausage. I've been asked to make things over and over many times!

My cooking tragedies

Ha Ha i would say it would probably be breakfast foods, i can do the easy things like fry an egg and make the one step pancake batter mix but that's about it!!

First off i have to say that i am in no way a baker AT ALL!! So when i was looking for a cookie recipe i wanted something very easy to bake. And that is exactly what you have in these gingerbread men-easy- I am making them as little treats for my family for Christmas so i wanted them to be good to eat and easy to make. I made the dough last night and baked them this morning just to give the dough enough time to chill. I have tried one and they are really really good, can't wait to decorate them and see everyone enjoy them later!! :)

This recipe will become a lifelong dish in my recipe box. It was so good good good!!! I have to say i was a little worried when i first read this recipe b/c i have made baked chicken with a can of mushroom soup on it before, but this was NOTHING like the plain taste of chicken and mushroom soup. I did have to make a few changes: only my husband and i, so i used 2 large chicken breasts, 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1 packet of peppercorn gravy mix, 1/2 an onion, 1/2 cup of water and i did brown the chicken breast but like i said it was the yummiest dish. I served with mashed potatoes (covered with the gravy) and corn on the cob. Next time i make this i will make more so we have leftovers :)
